Vinylmation Collectors Unite!!

[Belle Ella]

Congrats Pumbaa!

And hey, hey to everyone who just dropped into the thread!

I'm kind of excited. Been trading away a storm lately and I'm coming close to knocking everything off my list that I want for the time being. A friend at DLR picked up Simba for me today and my BF picked up the 9" Fantasmic for me!! Yippee! Although now I've got two My DS.com luck went better this time and the one I ordered just shipped. Gotta figure out if I'm going to keep it or not at this point.

Can anybody tell me if there are any special things with the villians set? Variants or anything like that?

 

[Pumbaa7287]

No variants as far as I know, normal set of 11 plus Jafar chaser.

Can anybody tell me if there are any special things with the villians set? Variants or anything like that?

Nope, no variants in the Villains series. Just your 11 figures plus the Chaser.

 

[utkscvol1]

Ok so we bought our first case of villians, I've opened and got my whole set plus chaser. Now, I was going to sell the extras on ebay-but wonder if I should sell as blind boxes or go ahead and open them. Any suggestions? Oh, there's just one chaser in each box, right?

 

[Pumbaa7287]

Just one chaser per box... If you're going to put the blindboxes on eBay, I'd recommend saying you already got the chaser and these are extras. Some people sell them telling people they could have the chaser when it's very obviously just leftover boxes from a case.

The trade meet in NYC on Saturday went really well and we had a fantastic turnout! yay! We are hoping for another one maybe in early May?

I was able to finish Animation series..and then introduced to Urban 5, so now I'm collecting that.

No trades for my Holiday 2, though. It seems not too many collect that series, but I love 'em!

I was able to trade away most of my Park 3, & some Animation & the other singles I had.

Afterwards, we hit the Disney store and then a few of us, went to dinner.

If anyone is after the Park 5 9" Fantasmic! and Tree of Life and is not near WDW or DLR, they were just listed on disneystore .com at around 3:30am EST.

Also, if you enter FREESHIP in the promo field at checkout, you'll get free shipping. Believe that code works through the weekend.

Urban 3 and Park 3 cases are up too, discounted to $139.95; blind boxes for both are on there for $5.99. Good for trading, or collecting if you haven't tackled those series yet.

Sold out now...and free shipping ended on Sunday. I thought it would last unil monday, but I was wrong.

As soon as I finished Park 3, they get discounted! LOL!!

I got Jafar and Old Hag in two blind boxes this morning! So excited!

Wow!!

Hey guys! I am totally new to the Vinylmation thing, I only have the 3" Football and 1.5" Football Field Jr. from the Sports Series.

Welcome!

Well last weekend we did it, we bought a whole case at the disney store. we bought the villians, they only have 4 set there. i now officially have one full set. Then last night we went and picked up a blind box animation and I got the pink elephant!! so happy!!! found out last weekend that the pinoccho my daughter has is the one with the blue ears, him as a boy, didn't even know there were two. But did find out from a guy at the store as we were checking out that they are going to start trading in the stores next month! so happy!!

I only bought a nearly full box once. I have to say blind boxing it does make it more fun, but lot less stressful. And you do not alot to trade with!

Yes, animation series has a variant..pinocchio with and without the ears. and they also have 4 chasers. I'm not such a fan of multiple chasers & variants but there you go! animation also has the simba combo pack as well.

I'm not as familiar with villans, but someone here can answer it!

Hi everyone! I just found you, usually I'm on the community board. I have a nice little collection that includes a lot of Cutesters, Urban and Park 2. Then I kind of dropped out because there wasn't anything that interested me until Star Wars!

I have a question, are we allowed to trade here?

Hello all! Ive been wanting to start collectiong for some time now but never got around to it...then, just the other day, I stopped by the Disney Store at my mall and they had them! The exact collection i wanted: Animation. I only have an exact idea of what i want and the collection i need.

Here's my "style": I LOVE all of the Disney animated features, which, if you dont know, trace from Snow White down to Tangled, and it doesnt include pixar, and I wanted to see about getting one figure for each movie. Seems impossible now but im sure its possible.

The day I went I started my collection and got Peter Pan and Aladdin. I wanted to go for the random ones but an employee there told me there's a system for always getting the figure you wanted to so I just chose my 2 fave.

IDK if anyone likes this idea but certainly let me know what to you think! I also needed help with something else: identifying what figures I can get. I'll put up a list below of the movies and the figures I know for each movie but let me know if im overlooking something

- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Evil Queen, hag form
- Pinocchio - Pinocchio, regular and donkey, and the-bad-guy-whose-name-escapes-me
- Fantasia - I think there was the Hippo but it mightve been 9 inch, and i need 3 in
- Dumbo - Pink elephant chasers
- Bambi
- Saludos Amigos
- The Three Caballeros
- Make Mine Music
- Fun and Fancy Free
- Melody Time
- The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
- Cinderella - Fairy Godmother
- Alice in Wonderland - Alice
- Peter Pan - Peter
- Lady and the Tramp
- Sleeping Beauty
- One Hundred and One Dalmatians - Cruella de Vil
- The Sword in the Stone - Madamn Mims or whatever her name is lol
- The Jungle Book - Kaa
- The Aristocats - Marie
- Robin Hood - Prince John
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- The Rescuers
- The Fox and the Hound
- The Black Cauldron
- The Great Mouse Detective
- Oliver & Company - Dodger
- The Little Mermaid - Ursula
- The Rescuers Down Under
- Beauty and the Beast - Maybe Beast, but same situation as Hippo
- Aladdin - Aladdin and Jafar chaser
- The Lion King - Simba?? and Hyeana
- Pocahontas - Governor Radcliffe
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Quasimodo
- Hercules - Phil
- Mulan - Mushu and Xi...bad guy lol
- Tarzan
- Fantasia 2000
- Dinosaur
- The Emperor's New Groove
- Atlantis: The Lost Empire
- Lilo & Stitch - is there a stitch one?
- Treasure Planet
- Brother Bear
- Home on the Range
- Chicken Little
- Meet the Robinsons
- Bolt
- The Princess and the Frog - Prince Naveen, frog mode
- Tangled

there are some where I think im gonna have to find something that deals with it. I believe theres a tropical one with some birds which I was thinking about placing with The Three Caballeros since that one takes in Brazil and deals alot with birds. If anyone has any hints, clues, or suggestion about these lemme know!

I wanted to go for the random ones but an employee there told me there's a system...

I am interested in knowing the secret to getting the one you want. We spent a ton of money just trying to get Herbie and wound up buying off ebay.

You my want to check out vinylnation.net and the official blog on disney.com. I know there are a couple of more websites out there that list all the series pus pictures.

I had no idea there was a trading thread!

 

[jeanigor]

Anyone waiting for the Tailspin set on Friday, the official Disney blog posted they will be delayed a week.

Also announced the coming of the 'Occupation' series to be released March 4. Open box with a mystery 1.5" junior.

 

[Mel6197]

I see alot of the large 9 inch ones on Ebay that I love love love
But hard to know what the actual cost is,
I know Ive paied like 44 for some 9 inch and on the Disneyshopping some are over 70

So how to know

And the big question is will they have the ones I want when I go down in Aug.
Love the Petes Dragon with elliot
and Love the Fantasmic 9 inch ones

I wish Disneyshopping, would offer more of a selection..

 

[disneygal922]

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself here. I collect mostly the Park series but am looking for a few random ones also. DH, I think, wants to start collecting the Star Wars series as well. Right now I have all of mine lining my fireplace mantle so I'll have to get them together for a close up group pic!

 

[Cindy Girl]

As you can see from my avatar I LOVE Cinderella and all things Cindy! I have been hoping to trade for the Cinderella Castle chaser from the cutsters. I think I have bought more than a case and still haven't gotten it

I live very close to a Disney Store so I could get the Villans series or the Animation series very easily if there is one you would like of those. I also have the Small World flowers without a card though...we traded in a mystery box and got it.

So please let me now!

Thanks!
